Just ok - nothing special

Pros: Free breakfast
Cons: Nothing close, No free Internet, Noisy
This resort is the poorer cousin of the El Dorado series. While very nice, it lacks a good quality beach and the food is just average. Upon arrival we were shown to our room, which smelled very musty and and mildewy, which immediately triggered an asthma attack for my husband. We asked to change rooms, and were told there were no rooms available. We insisted, and of course the only room they had was an upgrade. They do a really hard sell here for any extras so hold your ground when it comes to the room quality issue. They also do a really hard sell for their Exotic Traveller time- share business and link it to almost every amenity and opportunity you can imagine. For example, they offered to reduce our upgraded room rate for an appointment with the time- share people. Kind of blackmail? Overall, ok resort with average food and some hard-selling staff. Oh, and by the way, there is a large co struction site happening right bythe front gates of the hotel so beware - it is very noisy and all of the rooms in the 4000 series should be avoided. They don't seem to have this info posted anywhere. Internet is very costly here as are all small items in gift shop ie, bag of chips 8.00 U.S.

The property seemed a little older and needed some touch up for sure!

One of the best all inclusive experiences I've had. Food was excellent and premium liquor was awesome. Great service and a lot of activities during the day and at night. The beds on the beach were amazing if you like some shade but you have to get up early to get one. The only downside is there is not much beach in the Seaside Suites resort and the sun goes behind the building early at the pool. Also we never used the swim out pool from our room because it's too cold. The rooms are very nice and spacious. Beds were just so so. We went to the Sunsimar resort everyday where the beach is nicer and most of the restaurants are located. It was about a 10 minute walk. The Asian and Italian restaurants in the new main lobby where you check in for the Seaside Suites are the best. Overall excellent week and would definitely recommend it.

Love the infinity pool in front of every room.

Rooms were nice. I have never seen an infinity pool on floors! Food was probably the best we have had in Mexico. We had a hiccup with the service in the beginning but the staff more than made up for it.

Awesome hotel

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet, Free breakfast
Cons: No free Internet
I went with my fiancee to this resort and we truly loved it. Food was great, service was excellent! They cleaned our rooms every day and room service was available 24/7. They had different activities everyday. It was a very private resort. Can't wait to go back!

A Mixed Bag

We really liked our stay at this hotel and would recommend it highly in MOST cases. Ill explain: The hotel has a personal feel as it has no high rise buildings. The grounds were gorgeous, the employees were wonderful and hard working. Even the most basic rooms are amazing and the bars and spa area were awesome! (Joshua gave the most amazing massage!) I cant believe I actually enjoyed the food as much as I did. (Ive had some very mediocre experiences at other all inclusives) Now some negatives: When we arrived they had overbooked the hotel and were going to give us a downgraded room furthest away from eveything. They do offer a credit in this case, but even though the room was a downgrade (it was gorgeous still) I stood my ground and they miraculously came up with a room right in the middle of the place. So you just have to insist. Another thing is that my partner and I are in our 30's and this place was basically for 50-70 year olds. No biggie really. Lastly, the beach was a disappointment. I love a soft white sand beach with an undisturbed view of the clear ocean water. If the beach is a big deal to you, DO NOT COME HERE. Very rough/coral sand, inaccessible to 1/2 of the resort and massive ugly sand bags and cement blocks thrown out into the ocean the entire resort across. Bring shoes to walk the beach. So basically if youre late middle age and a pristine beach is not a big deal, this is a wonderful little getaway. ps- There are NO OCEAN VIEWS, despite what they say, from most (maybe all) rooms. All rooms are set back from the "beach" and are obstructed by palm tress.

Felt like coming home

This was our second time staying at the El Dorado Seaside Suites. The staff is so welcoming and make sure to take care of all of your needs. We booked a swim up room both times and would definately do that again. Food at all the restaurants is wonderful! Unlike other all inclusives, you do not need to make reservations in advance to get into any of the restaurants, which is great! This resort is more exclusive, and smaller than most all inclusives. You are in your own private little world. No guests from other resorts are walking through. That is why we love it so much! You really feel like you are special and the staff knows your names. Can't wait to go back again!

Loved the Seaside Resort.

Pros: Close restaurants
We loved the El Dorado Seaside resort. We normally stay at the El Dorado Royale Casitas. The Seaside takes a little longer to get to but was well worth it. We found it to be a little more cozy and did not have to walk to much to get around to the bars and restaurants. Very Clean and friendly. Will definitely return.

I stayed at Seaside Suite for 7 nights and I enjoyed the majority of the trip.

Cons: No free Internet
I stayed at Seaside Suite for 7 nights and I enjoyed the majority of the trip. Food: The food was so-so. Their name mentions "Gourmet All-Inclusive" I will say, it looked gourmet it just wasn't gourmet taste. In addition it took about 45 minutes to get to our table. I’ve been to other All-Inclusive’s that beat out these guys on taste. After the first two nights my husband and I choose to eat hamburgers and fries. We didn’t feel the food was good enough to wait 45 minutes for. Drinks: You have to ask for top shelf. If you don’t, they will give you house tequila. I would recommend attending the tequila tasting as they have very good selection to taste and they tell you a little history on them. Entertainment: The entertainment staff was a lot of fun to be with and kept my husband very busy. He’s an active guy and enjoys playing sports. Also, the nightly shows were great. They are worth watching. Room: The room was clean and very nice. My only disappointment was that I booked a beach front room and the room was about 40ft from the beach. We had to walk over a grass lawn then past a barrier to the beach. I know I was on vacation but, there were 2 rainy days and there was not enough channels on tv to watch (mainly news). They did offer movie rentals at the front desk but they were all in Spanish. In addition, there was a pungent smell outside of all the rooms. We tried to avoid that area when leaving the room. Beach: The beach was nice. I should inform you that it’s pretty small. The resort is larger but the majority of the beach is rocky and rough so, they have barrier walls along the edge of the majority of the resort. They only have a small portion of it open to swimming. Also, if you like to snorkel they only have that available on the swimming part and there are sand bags which did bother me some people might think it’s an eyesore. One little thing you should know, is they do allow topless sun bathing there. So, if you have issues with that then this is not where you want to stay. To watch out for: When you go to the concierge beware of the sales pitch. They get commission if you attend there seminar. They are going to push so, tell them flat out yes or no. They called me at 8am on Sunday morning asking if I’d like to attend. Service: Overall the staff was great and friendly always smiling. I enjoyed my stay. Would I stay again? No. The food was not good enough.
